Thousands of my dollars have been poured
into all types of games tryin to get the high score
But now I think I have a favorite
It's me against an ape he's got my girl I've got to save her!
Oh no I feel an attach comin on
Yo Ready Rock C I wanna play a game of Donkey Kong!
{Ready Rock does the entire intro and starts beatboxing after}
[Fresh Prince]
It used to be a problem this addiction I have
I would feel the urge, then I'd go stark raving mad!
Break into the arcade, screamin and hollerin
Anticipatin puttin twenty-five dollars in
any machine, I was out of control!
I didn't need quarters I brought, $10 bank rolls
Bags of quarters, I was insane
People thought that I worked there, and asked me for change
But I would get defensive and yell, "LEAVE ME ALONE!
These are my quarters stupid, GO GET YOUR OWN!"
Dude walked away with this look in his eyes like,
"Yo man.. I wonder what's wrong with that guy?"
I was addicted, a video burn-out
and I would crazy when the guy would have to turn out
the lights at midnight, I'd fall on my knees and say,
"Have a heart pal, one more game please?"
Some nights I might sleep on the subway
or outside of the arcade til it opened up the next day
And when it opened at a quarter to ten
it was the same old thing all over again
I was doin bad, my future was bleek
I'd rather play games than eat or sleep
until one day, this guy came along
He didn't have a radio but he was playin a song
I got curious, so I said, "YO!
What's that noise?" {What noise? I don't know!}
"No fool, that noise you was makin there!"
{What this?! *starts beatboxing*} "Yeahhhh!
That was def man, where'd you learn to do that?"
{Man, I don't know, I guess I always knew that
I had this talent deep down inside
You wanna hear some more man?} "Yeah!" {Come on let's take a ride}
He made sounds like I never HEARD before
and he still had more!
Then he got me hyped when he played this incredible song
and I +LOST MY MIND+ when Ready C played Donkey Kong
{Ready Rock does the intro, Kong shaking the beams,
the "How High Can You Go?" music, and the actual game sounds}
Yo Ready, get funky with it!
{Ready gets busy on the beatbox}
Yo Jeff man what you doin? Give Ready a hand
{Jazzy Jeff throws on another beat}
Now my life is wonderful and I feel great
I haven't been in an arcade since seventy-eight
Thanks to Ready C I'm on an upward trail
Because he's always by my side, he never fails me
Whenever I have a video attack
he's right there by my back, keepin me on track
So if I bug out, and act like a lunatic
he does Donkey Kong, and as soon as it
gets to my eardrums, from his vocal chords
I get hyped up!
No matter how bored I am, he always comes through
Oh my fault, hold up, wait, let me tell you who
Ready Rock C, here's a brief description
of the things that he can do in his musical position
Ready Rock C makes sounds with his mouth
Yo Ready give an example of what I'm talkin about
{Ready Rock beatboxes and then does Pac Man's death sound}
{GAME OVER!}
{Yo, Scrammy, why you still standin there?}
{The game is over.. HAHAHAHAHA, sucker!}
